I only asked how much you bought it for because I thought the advert price was more than fair for what your selling now

Re: Supercharged 5G Motegi - and that's a wrap?!?

That's exactly the way I was thinking about it too.newkid wrote:Id say 4k isn't unreasonable Dave, chargers alone cost roughly 1500 and they aren't always complete which this one is. Then have the coilovers which is a good £500 with the edfc maybe more?. Good rust free a8's (which I presume this is) go for about 2k.

If I put it back to standard and sold the charger and suspension separately I'd still have a low mileage h22a8 prelude to sell.
I really don't want to go down that route though. Hopefully I can sell it as it is.

problem is you never get the value of the car and all the bits you have added to it (well very seldom) you would get a premium over and above the relative value of the standard vehicle.JDM-BB4 wrote:That's exactly the way I was thinking about it too.newkid wrote:Id say 4k isn't unreasonable Dave, chargers alone cost roughly 1500 and they aren't always complete which this one is.

I and every other lude owner want the values to go up so I hope you get a lot for it but we all live in the real world and cars like ours are niche and as such there is a small pool of buyers.
Good luck though buddy

Spotted these and couldn't resist getting them despite the car being for sale.

I will hopefully get them fitted before japfest on Sunday.

From a jdm prelude for sale on ebay. The car didn't sell so I asked if they would remove and sell the wind deflectors seperately.honda-hardy wrote:where did you get them? dibs before you sell
Will keep you in mind if I take them off before the car goes. If it goes!
